 * Symbol delete vote.svg I don't think the article is eligible for DYK. Most of the expansion is addition of lyrics of the anthem, which had been previously deleted and revdel'ed for copyright violation. See . -Zanhe (talk) 06:08, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The lyrics of the current national anthem (adopted in 2006) may or may not be copyrighted (regardless, they are not included in the article), however the lyrics of the previous historical national anthems are in the public domain due to age. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 06:30, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Block quotes don't count for article length in new articles; hard to imagine they count for 5x unless they're the last ½x and people are feeling generous. In any case, it falls under the policy guidelines: the lyrics belong at Wikisource and should just be described, analyzed, and sourced here. — Llywelyn II   10:47, 3 December 2017 (UTC)


 * 17 alt hooks, mostly with minor style variations, is a little much. Can we please limit it to 3-4 at most? Neutralitytalk 01:50, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Prior to the expansion that started on November 30, the article had 1023 prose characters. A 5x expansion would take it to 5115 prose characters; the article is at 2630 at the moment, and needs 2485 more prose characters to qualify for DYK, or almost double its current size. As noted above, quoted lyrics or other blockquote-size chunks do not count for DYK purposes. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:18, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg And the QPQ's are not valid. You need to review other people's nominations, not list your own. -Zanhe (talk) 05:02, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
